Mahajan previously served as assistant director on Nalin’s “Echo of Eco,” “Angry Indian Goddesses,” “Beyond the Known World” and “Last Film Show.” “Second Chance,” now in the final stages of post-production, was launched at India’s Film Bazaar co-production market in 2020, and has participated in labs and development programs including Film Independent Global Media Makers Program 2022, the Cannes market co-production day 2021 and Produire Au Sud Kolkata. The film follows city girl Nia who visits her family home in the western Himalayas after a decade, in the dead of winter, alone.
An illicit abortion paired with a stinging abandonment has broken her spirit. The caretaker of the house departs, leaving his old mother-in-law, Bhemi, a weathered mountain woman, in charge, along with his live wire of a young son, Sunny. The three of them soon find themselves bound together beyond age and class divides.
Production companies on the film include Metanormal Motion Pictures (Tribeca selection “Aamis”) and Latent Pictures. The film is produced by Metanormal’s Shyam Bora, with the company’s Bhaskar Hazarika serving as co-producer alongside Sidharth Meer for Bridge PostWorks and Naren Chandavarkar for Moonweave Films. Cinematographer Swapnil Suhas Sonawane (“Last Film Show”) is also an executive producer.
